The Badger men win easily in their exhibition opener

MADISON — Jon Leuer scored 15 points as Wisconsin cruised to a 90-54 win over Bemidji State in the Badgers' first exhibition game.

Wisconsin was solid all around Wednesday. Bemidji State was not.

The Division II Beavers committed 19 turnovers and 29 personal fouls. They trailed by double digits just more than nine minutes into the game and were down 46-22 at the half.

Brady Fairbanks scored 14 points and was the only Beaver in double digits. Bemidji State is returning four starters from last year's 8-19 squad.

The Badgers had a balanced attack with Jason Bohannon scoring 14 and dishing out six assists. Ryan Evans and Rob Wilson both came off the bench to score 12 points apiece.

Wisconsin pushed the lead to 30 points a little more than three minutes into the second half and maintained it for the rest of the game.
